Yade M'rak was a gambling man who was addicted to betting on Podracing, but bad luck saw him part with the majority of his possessions.[1] He kept a low profile in Mos Espa and attempted not to become involved in local disputes.[4] Like many other down-on-their-luck denizens of the city, M'rak scraped by while dreaming of one day being able to leave Tatooine.[5] A smuggler of black market contraband and an able pilot, he was possessed of fair skin, as well as grayhair that he wore in at least two dreadlocks and sometimes kept under a hood.[1]
